Productive aging: Peer influence and retirement
Public awareness of demographic change is necessary to guide individual and national planning for retirement. For the first time in American history, older adults are forecast to soon outnumber children. Accordingly, expectations for retirement should be considered in a larger than personal context, a broad perspective that implicates relatives, the community, and government agencies. Shifts in attitudes and peer norms of retirees are explored th…

A second method uses pagers to contact parents quickly so that they can assume their priority role for corrective guidance or reinforce reports of g…
Parent and Adolescent Relationships in Japan and the United States
The success of any society depends upon how well parents perform their role. Mothers and fathers living in technological cultures believe this task becomes more difficult and less satisfying when children reach adolescence. Confusion over ways in which family relationships should change is confirmed by many adolescents who report that parents do not understand them. Education for parents should consist of knowledge that is sequenced to match the …

Grandparent Education for Black Families
Scholars maintain that grandparents are capable of making a greater contribution to families and many urge the design of curricula to help grandparents achieve their potential (Aldrich & Austin, 1991; Bengston & Robertson, 1985; Cherlin & Furstenberg, 1986). The initial programs, involving mostly Anglo grandparents, have been effective (Strom, Collinsworth, & Strom, 1990); but success with this population does not mean the same focus is appropria…
